I have a 2002 Subaru Impreza TS stick shift. I am having some odd problems with the clutch, first of all it squeaks. Sometimes it's very loud and annoying, other times not at all. I greased the slave cylinder ball but that didn't do anything. The noise is very frustrating and annoying, it comes and goes. Lately it is always there.

Also sometimes about 1 in a 50 times when I shift into 1st gear it grinds very badly as if I am not depressing the clutch all the way. I don't know if this transmission related or not but a friend says it may be something with my clutch.

Finally it seems to release weirdly and When the engine is cold the engine vibratingly jerks violently sometimes when it chooses as if it's about to stall but the rpms will be at 2 grand or more, the stick will be flopping back and forth to the notion of the engine. I have an old mazda 626 and when I sat in that car and pressed the pedal my foot went straight to the floor as if the pedal wasn't their. It made me want to throw that Subaru in the garbage and never drive it again. Anyways if anyone has some good pointers to why my clutch is acting so terribly please let me know. I really want it fixed. Thanks
